Bobrick 6897 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Bobrick B-6897 grab bar work in a standard ADA toilet compartment with a side wall and rear wall?
That is exactly the opening it is built for. The B-6897 is a two-wall configuration that mounts into the corner of a compartment, tub or shower, with a 42 inch leg and a 54 inch leg meeting at the corner. In a typical accessible water closet compartment the 42 inch leg runs along the side wall next to the toilet and the 54 inch leg runs the rear wall. You need solid blocking or reinforcement in both walls before you set it.
2) Is the Bobrick B-6897 ADA compliant?
Yes. The B-6897 meets ADA Accessibility Guidelines in the U.S., and its 1-1/2 inch (38mm) tube diameter is within the gripping surface diameter ADA allows for grab bars. Compliance on the finished job still depends on your mounting height and the clearance you leave between the bar and the wall.
3) Is the Bobrick B-6897 surface mounted, and what covers the fasteners?
It is a surface mount bar with snap flanges at each wall end. The flange covers the mounting plate and fasteners once the bar is set, so no separate escutcheon is needed. Concealed-mount versions are a different product; this one fastens through the wall face.
4) What is the difference between the B-6897 and the B-6897.99?
Same bar, different gripping surface. The standard B-6897 is satin-finish stainless steel with a slip-resistant surface. The .99 suffix adds a peened surface, a dimpled texture that gives more grip when hands are wet, common in showers and in facilities specifying extra slip resistance. Both are the same 42 inch by 54 inch two-wall configuration in 1-1/2 inch tubing.
5) Do I need one bar or two for a two-wall toilet grab bar installation?
One. The B-6897 is a single unit with both legs already joined at the corner, 42 inches on one leg and 54 inches on the other, so you are not ordering two straight bars and trying to line them up. That also means the corner geometry is fixed: your walls have to meet where the bar expects them to, and blocking is needed in both.
6) Will this grab bar match the other stainless washroom accessories in my building?
It is satin-finish stainless steel, which is the standard finish on most commercial washroom accessories, so it reads the same as satin stainless paper dispensers, soap dispensers and mirror frames already on the wall. Satin is the only finish offered on this bar.
7) Is stainless steel the right grab bar material for a shower or a high-use public restroom?
Stainless holds up to constant moisture and to the aggressive cleaners used in public washrooms without pitting the way plated finishes do, which is why it is the standard in commercial and institutional work. The satin finish also hides fingerprints and wipe marks better than a bright polish, so it stays presentable between cleanings in a high-traffic facility.
